The American Bar Association’s Working Group on Building Public Trust developed ten guidelines to instruct court actors about how to ensure that any fines and fees imposed or collected do not punish people disproportionately for their poverty. This guide can be used by officers of the judicial and legislative branch, advocates, and other individuals working to combat the harmful impacts of court fines and fees in the justice system. The guidelines also include legal support for each guideline. These Guidelines were approved by the American Bar Association House of Delegates on August 6, 2018.
